Nope. He can do whatever and inflation erases all that and then some.
Take your statistics home and use them to line your hamster cage.
Ah yes, the inflation that started because of the pandemic, worldwide, all Bidens fault. Good job, you solved inflation!
If that was the case, address it. Somehow Biden et.al., thought ignoring it was fine and the people would understand.
That turned out to be not the case.
Address it? like by having the fastest recovering economy compared to every other country that was impacted by the global recession? Yeah, he should probably do something about it. /s

but don't let facts get in the way
It's like starting all over from the beginning talking to you.
Those "facts" are only good for getting ELECTED if they are effectively communicated to the everyday person. Most people DON'T read the Brookings Institution, look up Federal Reserve or Treasury pages, or even read the New York Times. You have to explain those things in layman's terms and tell them what the benefits are to them in plain language.
You yelling at them (or me) for not being smart is not going to end up with you winning the election. You'll have an excuse. But you'll still lose.
Either you can find a way to appeal to the common man, or you can continue to have an excuse to lose. And you will continue to lose if you don't change your ways.
By the way, I'll say it again because you don't seem to have read very far in this thread; I voted for Kamala, I didn't want Trump to win, but I think we deserved to lose because we ran an awful campaign.
